Michael,

I'm surprised to see this.  It seems to suggest that the subdatasets
also have subdataset metadata which would be confusing to gdal_translate.

I tried a dataset here and it seemed to work ok.

gdal_translate 
RADARSAT_2_CALIB:SIGMA0:/usr3/data/polarmetric/rs2/SB_DUAL_S7_SLC_2004_07_15_13_53_23/product.xml 
~/out.tif
...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

Are you using GDAL 1.5.x or GDAL trunk?  I see a few fixes have been applied
in trunk, so I would encourage you to try that.

To be honest, I didn't know all this subdataset stuff existed in this
driver.  I gather it was added by Phil or someone else.

Best regards,
